Hi, I raved earlier about the Begonia boliviensis which has been brightening our summer fog. I added a picture of the attractive seed pod to the wiki. Ernie told me this species could tolerate our Pacific northwest winter wet even when dormant. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Yesterday the UPS man was lingering looking at the tuberous begonia making an amazing display in my lath house. He thought it was so beautiful. This was in the packet at the IBS meeting in Pasadena a number of years ago. It's my sole survivor from my packet, but I agree it is really beautiful. Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens has a wonderful display of tuberous begonias every year. Is there any interest in seeing any of these on the wiki? I also got around to adding pictures of Bloomeria humilis which bloomed in June. This is a rare Bloomeria I obtained from Telos. It is shorter than the more commonly grown one, but I found it delightful and added three pictures showing it in the beginning, one week later, and about a month from the first pictures. I'm going to keep it in a pot to make sure I don't lose it, but it looks like it could be an attractive rock garden plant. I'm a fan of yellow however and don't live in a hot summer climate. I remember when we discussed our favorite yellow plants that a lot of you don't like yellow. I'd be adding this one if we were discussing it now. I'll try it in the ground when I have extras and can experiment. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Finally blooming last week was Romulea macowanii. This is a summer rainfall species. This was my second try to grow it from Nargs seed. The first insisted on growing in the winter even though I kept watering it in the summer and turned out to be pink and probably Romulea rosea. This second one seems to be the real thing with yellow flowers without a stalk. It was supposed to be var. alticola, but I couldn't see the bracts to tell and for that matter found it hard to measure the length of the tube either of something sitting on the ground. Goldblatt and Manning don't really recognize the varieties and subspecies of these African Romuleas so I decided it was safe to stick with the species name. http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… Mary Sue
